WORD OF ADMONITION:
Old notions of every kind, and most of all religious notions, are hard to dislodge from the mind. It doesn’t matter how unscriptural they may be. It doesn’t matter how illogical, or even how absurd they may be. If only they have been believed for generations; if only they have been entertained by “good and learned men;” if only they have found a way into the current versions of the Bible, they are reverently received, and become “fixed” ideas.
Such is the awesome power of deception and religious bondage.

CATCHPHRASE
"Break their wills"
1) Abnormally associated with child rearing, now used by “church leaders” to cower its members in submitting to their demands; 2) Another horrific example of unbiblical pastoral rule and control that guise’s itself as an angel of light.
“Breaking their wills is a primary component of the pastoral ministry!”
God’s afflictions are sent in mercy and directed by love.
THIS WEEK'S BIBLE VERSE
It is better to take refuge in the Lord, than to put confidence in man.
Psalm 118:8

"The Pastoral Office"
“Growing in maturity and stability as Christians is local institutional
church-centered.”
Houses for God
Stephen, before being stoned to death said, “The Most High dwells not in temples made with hands.” (Acts 7:48)
Of course, the world, that is the “church world,” hasn’t heeded this at all. They still go on making temples, sanctuaries, “churches,” and houses for God! Why?
Well, think about it. It’s much more convenient if they can put God somewhere off in a house where He can stay alone and people can come to Him, maybe once or twice a year at Easter and Christmas, or perhaps even once a week on Sunday’s.
But, you see, He’s rarely welcomed anywhere else. That’s the whole thing. Not in the social life…no way! Not in the business life…oh my, never! And very often, not even in the home. So a building is made for Him, and it is called “The House of God,” or “the place of worship” and people go to “the house of God;” pay Him a visit; and then, you just hope He stays there until you pay Him a visit again next week.
THIS is the local institutional “church world”
we live in.
Is questioning orthodoxy
“spiritually unhealthy?”
